About the Show

A chilling new production of Macbeth is haunting Broadway just in time for Halloween! The Lincoln Center Theater mounting of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy begins performances October 25, starring Ethan Hawke and Anne-Marie Duff as the power-hungry couple. Directed by Jack O’Brien, Macbeth opens November 21 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater.

Macbeth follows the title Scottish general (Hawke), who receives a prophecy from three witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the throne. He soon becomes a tyrannical ruler and commits several murders to protect himself. The bloodbath takes Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (Duff) into a spiral of arrogance, madness and death.
